One approachable way to style a room is to find a single standout piece you love, then design around it. Here’s where to shop for some eclectic alternatives to common home essentials, which can serve as your design anchor for a room that really feels like you ✨

A Cozy, Lightly Used Couch

Swap the drab IKEA sectional for a comfortable and chic vintage sofa from Make Me Modern Decor, located inside the Tennyson Street Warehouse.

The Perfect Kitchen Piece

Want a mid-century dining table? How about some avocado green chairs, or a sideboard for dining sets? In any case, Joy’s Consigned Furnishings on East Hampden Ave has more than two decades of experience helping Denverites find the perfect furniture.

Art for Days

Peruse a wide collection of art at Rare Finds Warehouse. Find giraffe paintings, ornate light fixtures, and cow lamps — just a few of the unique pieces the owners have sourced from artisans worldwide.
